Preface
Amongst others, notably industrial coatings, barriers, packaging, laminates, and lubricants, have been associated with the modification of the surface of an object so as to have a specific interaction or non-interaction towards an external environment. These terms have mostly implied the use of organic polymer, surfactant, and resin type materials. While a large body of academic and technical literature associated with bulk films and coatings already exists, development of ultra thin coatings of the sub-micron order has recently become of great interest, spanning a new field of surface engineers in the last decade. In the area of organic and polymer thin films, one may be familiar with the more common industrial techniques like spin-coating, dipcoating, doctor blade coating, and roll-to-roll coating processes. At the few nm thickness regimes, the application of both self-assembly and directed-assembly methods becomes fascinating. Some of the more “nanostructured” assemblies include: Langmuir-Blodgett films, self-assembled monolayers (multilayers), alternate polyelectrolyte (sequential) deposition, and thermal and molecular beam epitaxy methods of evaporated organic molecules. To these examples, one can now add the method of thin films by polymer brushes.

The study of polymer brushes has long been dominated by physicists because of their interest in investigating macromolecule phenomena in confined environments. From the theoretical standpoint, end-tethering of polymers reduces the degrees of freedom for different macromolecule conformations such that it is possible to define a “stretch” conformation for a neutral polymer. From the experimental side numerous innovative surface sensitive spectroscopic and microscopic methods have been developed and applied as a result of this interest. Grafting density, surface concentration, osmotic pressure, solvent quality, interaction parameters, etc. are important factors to consider in experimental methods. Due to the predominance of“physisorption” models in the formation of these confined polymers, not much focus has been given yet on chemically grafted polymers, which are more thermodynamically robust. For a while, chemisorption methods were popular, but very soon, it was realized that significantly higher grafting densities are not achievable with this method. In the area of polymer grafting, a lot of previous work can be cited on particle modification and the use of plasma or irradiation initiated polymerizations.

With the recent advances in polymer synthetic methodologies and their adaptation to surface chemistry, it has become possible for synthetic chemists to reclaim this field. The contribution of late is evident. In a technique called “grafting from”, a highly cited term from the first papers by R?he and Pr?cker, it is possible to associate the formation of polymer brushes as a type of surface initiated polymerization. Contributions to this field are numerous and we have tried to include in this book the works by Brittain, Huck, Menzel, Fukuda, Matyjaszewski, Bruening, Minko, Stamm, M?ller, Luzinov, Dyer, Advincula, Seery, Quirk, Stamm, Tsukruk, Zauscher, Boyes, Baker, Ballauf, Caster, Genzer, Faust, their co-authors and many others (see list of contributors). However, this field is growing and is indeed very interdisciplinary.

The book starts with an introduction and overview of the field by Ruhe. The subsequent chapters are then grouped into three major parts: Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications. Each division begins with a review chapter by the editors. This is followed by individual contributions and reviews from invited authors. In Synthesis, an overview in Chapter 1 gives the highlights of recent advances in synthetic methodologies. Efforts have been made to include living free-radical polymerization (Chapters 2 and 3), ring-opening polymerizations (Chapter 4 and 5), cationic polymerization (Chapter 6), and hyper branched polymer synthesis (Chapter 9). Other polymerization mechanisms are reviewed in Chapter 1. In Characterization, it was helpful to outline the different methods for polymer brush analysis on both flat film substrates and particles (Chapter 10). The characterization of particles and flat surfaces is exemplified in Chapters 11, 12 and Chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, respectively. Lastly in the application part, the review in Chapter 17 gives an excellent overview of the myriads of possibilities in applications of polymer brushes: from microelectronics to bio-applications. The contributions include patterning (Chapter 18, 19), mixed polymer brushes (Chapter 20, 21), nano-object movement (Chapter 22), and photochemical strategies in applications (Chapter 23). More chapters could have been included but this collection should well suffice to whet the appetite of the readers. A number of reviews have been written but this work should be the most comprehensive yet. It is hoped that this book will be a valuable reference and resource to scientists, engineers, and technologists in this rapidly evolving field.
